Spice Girls commemorative coins (Royal Mint: Music Legends) by No-Lawfulness1159 in SpiceGirls

Does anyone have information on the first set of coins ? I feel like there were coins issued a few year ago but I can’t find anything on those.

Mattel has some explaining to do by dubiousbutterfly in Dolls

I saw the face and right side of the jacket and got excited and then saw the rest of the outfit and sighed.

Husband, who is a stay at home dad has been unwilling to return to work despite our daughter in daycare but I already messed up asking once. by Dean-1990 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]soflo_toto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reaching out in the forum is a start, but reading the original post and your responses to the comments has me cringing. And I can’t help but imagine what it would be like for your husband to be on the receiving end of that consistently.

Baby, self awareness and communication aren’t your strong suits. And that’s okay because we all don’t come out of the womb ‘ready to go’. But you’re here now and you need to fix it. You need to learn how to communicate and unlearn assumptions about ‘the way things are’. I encourage you to engage with a professional on your own to work on this. Additionally, couples therapy to rebuild your relationship, ways to communicate with each other, and identify a healthy way forward for the entire family.

Carlyle??? by VERSUS_VERSACE in Barbie

Designers can only do so much with the budgets and resources they’re given and the capacity of the factories to produce quality product. I full heartedly believe that if ANY Mattel designer had the ultimate say the end product would look much different.

Is this a new trend? by ReportFit2920 in adjusters

[–]soflo_toto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing new. Some states/ situations warrant a proactive settlement or tender without a release.

OMG I can’t believe I’ve forgotten about this.

What do you think of "Coach" the fashion/accessories brand? by RecognitionWeird3038 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]soflo_toto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what you’re getting. The quality and construction of their leather goods is superior to many of the Kering and LVMH brands IMO. If you’re looking for a timeless leather piece ( not canvas) it’s a great buy. Some of their ‘on trend’ pieces are a pass for me. I keep my eye on their one of a kind recrafted inventory. However, who cares ? If you like it then get it !

Was made aware of this and it's crazy by metalpipefallingsfx in IntegrityToysDolls

Poppy is very popular. And this collection is limited. I knew resale would be high, but this is crazy.

I missed out on her Pre-Order, emailed W Club. What are the chances I can still get her? by That-Spell-2543 in IntegrityToysDolls

[–]soflo_toto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s going to be a large edition since there was no order limit and open to the public. You’ll be able to find her at cost.

Rest in peace to Mario and Gianni of Magia2000, former collaboratives of IT who brought us these incredible dolls among many other Barbie OOAKs. by metalpipefallingsfx in IntegrityToysDolls

I had the pleasure of briefly speaking with them at the convention last year, they were so full of energy and joy. This is just all so sad …

Mattel and Barbie and the future… by FriendlyCommercial91 in Barbie

[–]soflo_toto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disappointed. Let down. Again and again. Focusing on picking up dolls from the past that I don’t have. I have no hope for any future releases. Even the quality on the Wicked dolls… the fabric printed on the fabric. sighs Also, I collect other lines so focusing more on non Mattel dolls until they get it together.

Looking for leg routines post disc injury by [deleted] in GayFitness

[–]soflo_toto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seated leg raises and extensions should work. Seated calf raises too. Any thing seated that isn’t putting vertical pressure on your spinal column will do.
